AmeriCorps, National Service Sponsor Jumpstart has been a proud member of the AmeriCorps network since 1996. That year, Jumpstart recruited 80 AmeriCorps members, and since then our partnership with AmeriCorps has grown tremendously. As Jumpstart’s national service partner, AmeriCorps gives us the tools to succeed. This partnership strengthens the nation's communities, and our future, by connecting talented, energetic individuals with young children in need. AmeriCorps is a network of local, state, and national service programs that connects more than 70,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet our country's critical needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment. Jumpstart is proud to be a part of this network and looks forward to continuing our partnership with AmeriCorps.
